Pretty good.

Had the toast with banana and maple syrup which was nice as the bread was thick and soft although it was nothing particularly special. Also got a slice of the matcha cake, found out that I don't really like matcha powder but the flavour of the cake was great.

Great Vegan Spot

An oasis in tourist packed Arashiyama. I had the dessert and drink set and loved both the matcha cake and iced hojicha. They also have savoury items. There's also outdoor seating for dogs. Hope to be back one day.

Very good and not too sweet!

We got the matcha and chocolate cakes which were so good. Just the right amount of sweet! Much of the gluten free things I’ve had in Japan were made with a lot rice flour and chewy but these weren’t. I took them to go and the employee told me they are best eaten fresh and not to freeze them. I highly recommend!

Nice cakes

Finding vegan desserts in Japan can be a challenge beyond daifukus, so it was great to discover this place. The cakes were tasty and satisfying but not mind-blowingy Definitely a nice treat for anyone craving something sweet and vegan.

Vegan Delights

Big selection of cakes and ice cream sandwiches. We took the “Raisin Butter” and “Uji Matcha & Black Soy Bean” ice cream cookie sandwiches and the tofu chocolate cake.

They were great! In particular the Raisin Butter ice cream sandwich.

To drink we got the Housemade Lemon Squash which was a very sweet and tangy delight to cool off from the heat.

The cakes might appear quite pricey, but recall that they come with a drink!

Ice Cream Sandwich!

A vegan bakery with cakes, ice cream sandwiches, drinks and other sweets, all vegan and gluten free!
We got two ice cream sandwiches, the matcha and the fig-pecan one, both were really good. We also ordered some apple juice and a cold hojicha, they were also nice.
The place was quiet, ventilated, and clean, staff was also really friendly!

Pros: Full vegan and gluten-free, Ice cream sandwiches, Not too expensive

Fluffy and Moist Chocolate Cake

We only had the chocolate cake here but it was great. One of the better vegan cakes I’ve had in Japan. The smooth, fluffy and moist texture was a pleasant surprise and I’d highly recommend coming here.

Best chocolate cake!

The tofu chocolate cake was the best dessert I’ve had while in Japan. This was a great place to come and escape the heat after visiting the nearby Monkey Park. We enjoyed the cake, apple juice, and an iced latte. All of the options looked delicious!

Leckere Kuchen

Hatten einen Tofu Schoko Kuchen und einen Lemon Cheesecake, beide waren sehr lecker, aber etwas teuer für kleine Kuchenstücke. Da wir die Kuchen mitgenommen haben, haben wir direkt gefrorene Stückchen bekommen, sodass sie aufgetaut waren, als wir sie essen wollten. In der Nähe des Affenparks

Excellent Desserts, Limited Drinks Choice

We had a bit of time to kill in Arashiyama while waiting for a bus, and we were excited to see an all- vegan dessert spot listed. It's just across the bridge from the main drag, which meant it was less crowded than other spots, which was good news for us.

There was quite a bit of choice in the dessert counter - several different cakes and tarts on display, as well as butter sands promoted. One of our party chose the strawberry milk butter sand/cookie sandwich, which had a strawberry ice cream sandwiched between two buttery biscuits. She loved it, and was especially pleased with the amount of fruit in the ice cream. Another member of our group tried the lemon yoghurt cheesecake. It was really rich, but also zingy and fresh from the lemon. He loved it, except that he wished the base had been baked instead of raw. I had the chocolate tofu cake, and it was incredible! The sponge base was light, and the tofu layer was extremely rich and delicious. 

For the desserts alone, we would give 5 stars. However, the drinks menu was quite limited. There were a couple of teas and some coffee, but no milky drinks (cafe latte, matcha latte, etc) or fun soft drinks. More drinks options would really elevate it.

Service was fast and friendly. We ordered at the counter and paid upfront, then the staff brought everything over when it was ready. It was quite a spacious place with big windows.

I would definitely go back!

Very good cakes and coffee

The tofu tart and cheesecake were delicious, and we enjoyed making our own coffee. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

It was alright.
The deserts was decent but not for the price point they were being sold.

Cozy with tasty cakes

Stopped on our way back from Iwatayama Monkey Park. The selection was limited (4/5 choices), so we decided to try grape tart and chocolate brownie cake.

The tart was very delicious and light, but chocolate brownie cake was dry and very crumbly. All in all, a nice place to take a quick break.

Pros: Peaceful

Cons: Few options
